Cozy times with friends are going to be oh-so-important this winter, but also tricky with all that's going on.
I'm feeling like porch hangs where we're all bundled up (comforter coat, anyone?) and sipping something warm (from this great mug) are going to be the godsend of winter. We can be social but still safe. It'll be like the...
I don't actually eat the S'mores. I just love to sit on mom-chair duty, with the graham crackers on one side of me and the chocolate on my lap, working on production, and seeing the kids' sweet faces and the joy that comes of perfectly melting a marshmallow.
There is something romantic, cathartic...magical(?) about the making of the S'mores....
Halloween is here! I found myself struggling to figure out what to do to celebrate one of my favorite holidays when parties and costumes just weren't going to happen. My roommate and I have agreed a movie night (movie day?) seems appropriate...but it doesn't feel special enough. So. I've thought up 3 ideal theme nights for celebrating Halloween at...
Boon Supply is a brand that initially hooked me on their solid selection of (what I'll call) Prettier Home Essentials, but they're also a brand I'm happy to share for one other huge reason: they donate 40% of all earnings to a fundraiser/organization of your choice. We love brands who are committed to giving back, and have been really...
Greenlea's favorite holiday is Halloween. She LOVES the decorations, the scary movies (I mean more like Halloweentown and Curious George, less like Nightmare on Elm Street), the costumes and especially the candy. She LOVES the candy. So when I told her there might not be any trick-or-treating this year (there won't be), she panicked.
"What about a Halloween...
Bored with cooking? Me too. I have to tuck my kitchen-chef-ego in a bit to own this truth, but here it is: the meals I've gotten the ravest reviews on recently, are the ones where I didn't even cook. Mmmhmm. And I'm OK with that. I'm even excited about it.
Here are 14 beautiful and functional boards. YES friends...that is...
Because it is August, and because Facebook is creepy, I keep getting these Timeline reminders, or whatever they’re called, of various past status updates expressing my excitement about the first day of school -- as a teacher. I loved everything about that first day -- a newly decorated classroom, a fresh set of unit plans and course syllabi, my...
Summer 2020 gave us a head start on outdoor grilling through eating all our meals at home, every day, and we are on a roll at this point! Early on, after reading all the reviews, we ordered ourselves a grill, assembled it, and have pretty much been grilling and dining al fresco since.

I see people gathering. I see some of them, in masks, (scroll down deep for all my current favorite masks) trying their best to allow kids and adults alike a little physically distanced-outdoor-safe time with friends and family, for the sake of love and sanity. I see them on patios and porches, in parks and backyards. And I see...
This is a post for all the running-out-the-door, tugging-on-sneaks, "Do you have your backpack?"-"Where are the keys?"-"Put on a jacket!" moms. Now that I'm doing the same thing every morning (admittedly sans children), having a cup of heaven to cuddle on the bus ride into the city is a treasure. What is not a treasure, is hitting one of...
